Key Factors to Note Ahead of KDP’s Q2 Results
Keurig is well-positioned to deliver a strong second-quarter 2025 performance, building on the momentum of a solid first quarter. Continued brand strength, strategic pricing actions and innovation-led growth are expected to remain key drivers. The company’s expansion initiatives and focus on product innovation are acting as tailwinds, while the Refreshment Beverages segment continues to show robust momentum. Additionally, the recent GHOST energy acquisition is likely to further boost results through enhanced market presence and incremental sales.
In particular, the U.S. Refreshment Beverages segment is expected to remain a growth engine, led by sustained performance in the carbonated soft drinks (CSD) category. Brands like Dr Pepper, Canada Dry and 7UP are gaining share, supported by impactful innovations such as Dr Pepper Blackberry and 7UP Tropical. Emerging brands, including Electrolit and Bloom Sparkling Energy, are also gaining traction and are likely to have contributed meaningfully to second-quarter top-line growth. The GHOST acquisition has already delivered a solid start and is expected to accelerate results as integration continues.
KDP’s consumer-centric innovation strategy, backed by detailed scorecards measuring awareness, household penetration and loyalty, is expected to have supported continued market share gains in the quarter. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Refreshment Beverages unit sales is pegged at $804 million, representing a year-over-year increase of 12.8%.
On the international front, KDP anticipates improved growth in the second quarter, driven by late first-quarter price realization tied to inflation and the activation of stronger commercial strategies across key markets. In Mexico and Canada, momentum remains strong with brands like Penafiel, Crush and Dr Pepper, all of which benefit from strong local resonance. Continued pricing optimization and disciplined cost management are expected to have supported both top-line growth and margin expansion across international operations.
However, the company continues to face inflationary pressures, particularly in its Coffee segment, which has remained sluggish for some time. The segment continues to grapple with elevated green coffee costs, reduced brewer shipments and cautious consumer spending. While KDP implemented early price increases to mitigate inflation, the uneven timing of industry-wide pricing created short-term volume and mix challenges. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for sales in the Coffee unit is $264 million, reflecting a year-over-year decline of 10.8%.
